As the spring sun gradually aged and the weather became hotter, the trees were filled with summer cicadas that had broken out of the ground. Under the shining white sunlight, the cicadas were hoarsely crying out.

In the main hall of the Mu residence, a ruddy old man was examining Mu Qianxue's pulse. Xia Yue and Xu Li stood quietly to the side.

Senior An rolled his eyes and said rudely, "It's not like you're sick. What are you blabbering about? Go to the side."

If it were anyone else, Xia Yue would have pushed it back long ago. However, in front of Senior An, she didn't dare to say a single word. She obediently shut her mouth and retreated to the side, causing Xu Li to secretly laugh.

After shouting Xia Yue away, Senior An asked, "Has the princess been coughing and feeling tightness in her chest recently?"

Mu Qianxue thought about it and said, "There's still a bit of a cough from now and then, but the tightness in my chest is gone."

Senior An stroked his beard. "Looking at the princess' pulse, although it's still weak, it's gradually leveling up. It looks like the medicine's right. I'll send five more notes after we get back. After these five notes, the poison in the princess' body should be completely cleansed."

These words made Xia Yue extremely happy, even her voice trembled a little, "Senior An is referring to the princess …" The princess can recover, can't she? "

"More or less." Senior An casually replied as he got up and carried his medical case before leaving. The crowd seemed to be accustomed to his attitude, not feeling the slightest bit displeased.

After sending him out, Xu Li's face was full of joy as he said, "I've been looking forward to so long, until the day the princess is cured. The Senior An that Young Master Zhang invited is truly worthy of being a genius doctor of this generation." As he spoke, he recalled something and hurriedly added, "The medicine has yet to be cooked today. This lowly one will go now."

Mu Qianxue faintly smiled as she watched Xu Li's figure hurriedly leave. She turned her gaze to look at Xia Yue, who had her head lowered ever since Senior An left, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your servant is fine, I'm fine." Xia Yue turned her head away, her sleeves quickly wiping across her face, her voice somewhat choked with sobs.

When Mu Qianxue saw the puddle of water on Xia Yue's sleeve, she pulled her hand over and said softly, "Silly girl, what are you crying for?" After a pause, she said, "Are you unhappy that my illness can be cured?"

"Of course not!" Xia Yue hurriedly denied it, and then choked with sobs: "This servant is happy for the princess, I can finally get rid of the illness that has been bothering you for so long, it's really great! "That's great!"

Her words made Mu Qianxue feel a little emotional. "I always thought that I would have to live with an illness my entire life. I never thought that there would come a day when I would have to get rid of it."

"This is what a good person should do." With that, Xia Yue continued, "But this time, we really have to thank Young Master Zhang. If he did not go through so much trouble to invite Senior An, the princess' illness wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

"He should be thanked." Zhang Qiling's handsome face flashed through her mind and was replaced by another determined face. "Is there any news from the Prince's side?"

"Nope." Xia Yue took a hexagonal fan and fanned her with it gently, "Princess, you don't have to worry too much. In the past month and a half, the Prince has used his Three-forced Array to force the Qi soldiers to retreat step by step. I believe that he will be able to chase them out of the southern border very soon. There is one thing that this servant finds very strange. "

"What is it?"

The king has been ordering the military to regroup during the last month of the war, and nearly a hundred thousand troops have already been mobilized. Although there are so many troops in hand, he has been unwilling to order reinforcements for the king, and I heard that Minister Jiang has requested to send out troops several times, but the king has been suppressing them. Although the king has the upper hand right now, he is still short on soldiers, so these hundred thousand soldiers will be like tigers adding wings to the tiger's wings and quickly expel the Qi army.

In this hot summer's time, there was a cold touch to the jade that he had dug out from the depths of the earth, "There is nothing strange about it, he is suspicious of His Royal Highness, unless the Northern Zhou Army is defeated, he will definitely not increase the number of troops. Even if it is absolutely necessary, with his character, he will definitely make the first move, taking the position of commander-in-chief for himself, not to mention guarding against the covetous West Chu." Perhaps … In his view, losing to the Qi Kingdom is far better than the prince coming back victorious. "

Xia Yue said in disbelief, "The Qi Kingdom is in danger, how many civilians have died, and how many soldiers have died fighting because of their blood? How can he, as the Emperor of the Great Zhou, think like this?"

Mu Qianxue laughed coldly, "How can the lives of commoners and soldiers be compared with the supreme throne? The Tian Family is noble, but the Tian Family is also the most ruthless. Have you forgotten how the Xin King died? His Majesty does not even put the lives of his own brothers in his eyes. Do you still expect him to pity those commoners who have low statuses and are strangers? "

Xia Yue angrily said, "To have such a monarch, it is the sorrows of the people of Northern Zhou." In the eyes of outsiders, the messenger king had accidentally drowned to death, but they understood that the messenger king had died in the hands of Dong Fang Rong.

Mu Qianxue shot a glance at her. "It's fine if you say these words here, but once you're out of this room, you're not allowed to say it again."

"This servant understands." Just as Xia Yue's voice fell, a hot wind blew. Someone pushed open the door and entered. However, it wasn't Xu Li who went to fry medicine, but sixteen.

"Princess, I just received news that the West Chu is sending troops!"

Mu Qianxue's eyes became stern as she stared at Sixteen and asked, "Where are you sending the troops? But the Western Territory? "

Sixteen shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "It's the southern region."

"The Southern Domain?" This answer stunned Mu Qianxue, and Xia Yue shook her head repeatedly, "The West Chu is located in the western part of the Great Zhou, how could they possibly send troops to the southern region? Did you hear wrongly?"

Mu Qianxue's long eyelashes trembled slightly. "Are you going to take the road to the Qi Kingdom?"

Sixteen nodded his head, "The West Chu has a huge army of one hundred thousand. They will take the path of the Qi Kingdom, and take advantage of the fight between the Prince and the Qi Army to launch a sneak attack.

Mu Qianxue was greatly alarmed and hurriedly asked, "Where is the Prince, is he alright?"

"Princess, don't worry. With Thirteen and the rest protecting him, the prince will be fine."

Mu Qianxue's mind relaxed when she heard that Dongfang Wenyi was safe and sound. Her train of thought once again flew around for a long time before she coldly laughed, "What a good Xiao Ruo Ao; even I didn't foresee this!"

No matter if it was her or Dongfang Ru, both of them thought that even if the West Chu allied with the Qi Kingdom and attacked North Zhou together, they would still send troops from the Western Territory.

The number of troops in the army was more than three hundred thousand. If not for the help of the Three-forced Array, it would be impossible for Dongfang Gu to suppress the army completely, but that was already the limit.
